You can't be happy, taking away something I've worked on all my life to do and help my teammates and help my defense, ... It's just part of me, playing the puck. So, definitely, you can't be happy.

It was tough to get up for teams from the West. This will put a lot of interest back in the game.

I think we've been through a lot this season and it will be nice to move on. It's one step at a time though. The focus of our hockey club was great. We really stuck to our game plan and didn't get too high or too low and we definitely didn't get over excited.

Our job is to get on the road and win one game now. It's a great position to be in. We were lucky to get home ice [advantage] this year. For some reason, we pulled it off at the end and we took advantage early in the series. Now, it's up to us to do our thing on the road.

Losing a game is not a big deal, except you've got to make sure that you move on and get the next one.

Goalies often react quickly to shots with no regard for what might happen to their body because we are trained to stop pucks first and ask questions later.

It's a skill that I worked all my life, and it's been taken away. That's kind of tough to take.
